We arrived on a Saturday night on off chance of a table as we were staying near by and they found a spot for us. From reading reviews I thought it may be too expensive but found it really good value and generous kids meal portions. Family run and unique, maybe not for everyone who likes a prezzo but we enjoyed our visit.

Lovely authentic Italian restaurant! Food was superb and they catered well for all ages and were very welcoming! Service was quick and the food was hot and delicious. We had a really lovely evening here!

We booked a table for dinner as it was recommeded The food and service were very good but the only critisism is that the tables are very close together and when it gets busy it was quite noisy

Lovely freshly made food, the service was the spot on.. We visited on a Tuesday and it was fully booked so I would advise pre booking. No beer on draught which was a shame but apart from that it is well worth a visit.

Visited this restaurant in late August 23 and proposed to my partner with three other friends in attendance. Great place and amazing food (better than most with ate in Italy a week later). The host was amazing (unfortunately forgot her name)and thestaff made us very welcome. Will definitely be back next time we are visiting family in Portsmouth.

Loved this place! Proper Italian food and atmosphere! The food was delicious (we had a tagliere, pasta, and fish ??)! The owner was super friendly too! Lots of options for those allergic to gluten!Dietary restrictions: Lots of options for celiacs!

We enjoyed our first visit to this authentic Italian restaurant in Shanklin. It has a good atmosphere and the food is generous and wholesome. We rebooked for two days hence.

My husband and I do not eat pasta, not a problem so much to choose from on the menu and all freshly cooked. It was nice to have fresh cooked vegetables and not just fries. We ate here twice in our weeks stay

Pre theatre or for any excuse, this little restaurant is huge on real Italian hospitality. A very wide menu and beware, some starters are enough for two! On my next visit I will stick to mains and hope to be able to taste some lovely desserts. The house wine is very pleasant indeed and is it any surprise that booking early is essential always.
Buyer beware , VAT is not included in the menu and is added at the end which is ok if you live in the USA , not UK so the prices are understated . The food was ok but the surprise on the VAT was not nice

This is our go to restaurant for family celebrations. The food is always excellent. Have been coming here for over 20 years and still love it.

Booked on here although some reviews weren't good. Turns out they are right. How this place is still open is beyond me. The lady who runs/manages at night is very very rude and arrogant, I felt so sorry for the young staff she just absolutely demands everything from them.. our food was just ok, we only chose a main and was initially going to have dessert but after the dry pizza and her attitude we couldn't wait to leave. On paying our bill I asked a member of staff if they received the tip of we left on on card and they replied no so I gave them a cash tip this wasn't for the quality of food etc but for the fact they have to work under her. Avoid at all cost but of you do go please tip the staff in cash then she doesn't pocket that as well
